Black Sawn International Teaser Posters

I love these new teaser posters for the movie Black Swan, which stars Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, and Winona Ryder. Very simple and old school.

The film's story sees Natalie Portman play a ballet dancer given the chance of a lifetime when the prima ballerina of her company (Winona Ryder) is up for replacement with the start of a new season. But under pressure to perform from the company's director (Cassel), and unsettled by the arrival of a mysterious new rival (Kunis), Portman's Nina soon starts experiencing strange things. Are people conspiring against her, or is something even weirder going on?

Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.
